AKMG Kerala Piravi Celebrations

MESSAGE FROM DR. NIGIL HAROON, PRESIDENT AKMG
AKMG is proud to launch the HELPING HANDS program during our Kerala Piravi Celebrations on Oct 31, 2021. COVID has impacted us in many ways and the traditional performance arts scene has been on of the hardest hit. It is our responsibility to make sure that our rich traditional art forms are not left behind as we live our lives in the fast lane. Let us come together and support our rich heritage and culture. Let this also be a reminder to preserve our environment for our children. The natural calamities that are hitting us repeatedly in increasing frequency are nothing but a reflection of our behaviour and how we have treated this place we call home. We sincerely thank our well wishers who will join us on the occasion of Kerala Piravi. Zoom link was sent out by email to AKMG members. If you are interested in joining and do not have the link please contact the entertainment committee chair of AKMG Dr. Susan Thomas, MD, FAAFP. Susan Thomas.
November 1, 1956: The day, modern. day Kerala was born by the amalgamation of four separate regions South Canara (Kasaragod region), Malabar, Cochin and Travancore.
We will have award winning and popular playback singer, our dear Shri Venugopal Gee Venuettan and Kalaimamani Smt. Dasyam Gopika Varma, acclaimed and national award winning mohiniyattam exponent with us. Thank you for taking the time our of your busy schedule and joining us despite the additional difficulties with the time zone difference. 🙏🏽
Thank you to the Remembrance Theatre group led by acclaimed artist and director, Sri. Sasidharan Naduvil. We will be streaming their award winning malayalam play 'Old man and the sea' on this day.
Old man and the sea won the Pulitzer prize for fiction and was one of the major works of Nobel price winning author Ernest Hemingway. It is a story of grit, conviction and commitment. Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman, still has got the drive within him and sets out on a journey ignoring his health in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.

We will also have an introduction to the art and instruments used in Panchavadyam, followed by melam led by Vadya Praveen Kalashri Sri. C.K. Marar, Director of the Delhi Panchavadyam trust and International Centre for Kathakali, New Delhi.
None of this would have been possible without the leadership, commitment and selfless work by Smt. Shailaja Kumar, a musician, composer, Kathakali artist and retired bank officer from Peruvanam, Thrissur who has taken on the challenge of rejuvenating the art and culture field in Kerala. Hats off to your dedication.
